9Please respect copyright.PENANAUSbilC7VkO
That entire day, Quily couldn't stop thinking about the letter.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAMcdrLZcdV0
"Who is Aaris?" she kept asking herself. The name echoed in her mind over and over again. She remembered every word written in the letter, especially the beautiful poem. That night, sleep refused to come. She lay awake, wondering who the mysterious person behind the letters could be.

The next morning, Quily followed her usual routine. She finished all the household chores and helped her grandmother with the work around the house. As always, she then visited the library, spent hours reading books, and returned home in the evening.

Later that day, her grandmother asked her to fetch water from the old well.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAhDbVT94Lku
Quily walked towards the well with the water pot. But as soon as she reached the place, she froze in surprise.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAwidHb7JNMk
There, resting near the well, was another letter... along with a few fresh sunflowers.
9Please respect copyright.PENANATRgzISZa3L
Curious, she slowly picked up the envelope and opened it.
9Please respect copyright.PENANATplR8Ybpz9
Inside was another poem.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAhImGVg5iOP
«Just as flowers bloom with every dawn,
My heart blossoms whenever I think of you.
Not because I wish to claim you,
But because I hope one day, your heart will choose me...»
9Please respect copyright.PENANAPqrIHHEN2x
Her heart skipped a beat.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA3QhfchrV15
At the bottom of the letter, just like before, were the words:
9Please respect copyright.PENANAcgslJTbTMn
— Your Beloved, Aaris
9Please respect copyright.PENANApog5qv5wIT
Quily was stunned.
9Please respect copyright.PENANA6JrPoJcach
"Who could be doing this?" she whispered to herself.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAgrhdfAazgs
Lost in thought, she took the letter with her and unknowingly walked back home without collecting the water.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAVlSMSqwvMZ
Her grandmother immediately noticed.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAIiWdeAgRjk
"Quily, what happened? I asked you to bring water. Why did you come back empty-handed?" she asked.
9Please respect copyright.PENANARVB2LQ0N3t
Only then did Quily realize she had completely forgotten about the water.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAQmLlfcPmnE
Embarrassed, she hurried back to the well.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzTZK5Fnu5R
As she reached the place again, something unusual caught her attention.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAjTyY2l8Urg
A few delicate rose petals were scattered near the well.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAu6CgrnFpFf
She was certain they hadn't been there before.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAYWvJbJiYrh
She quietly observed them for a moment, wondering who had left them behind. Then she filled the water pot and returned home, carrying both the water and the mystery in her heart.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAuQwXu9L2xm
The next day, as usual, Quily went to the well to fetch water.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ2VkNIE3t
To her surprise, another letter and a fresh bunch of sunflowers were waiting for her.
9Please respect copyright.PENANATjT9T86xj7
A smile slowly appeared on her face as she picked up the letter and unfolded it.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAETfUyPR9eO
Inside, she read:
9Please respect copyright.PENANAOFpyicOzv3
«The moment I first saw you,
Time itself seemed to stand still.
Since then, in every dream I have,
Your face has become my sunrise.»
9Please respect copyright.PENANAEJe6xme7tO
At the bottom, the familiar signature appeared once again:
9Please respect copyright.PENANA8UPQmaSeUB
— Your Beloved, Aaris
9Please respect copyright.PENANAff5qSWkZBF
This time, instead of being frightened or confused, Quily couldn't help but smile.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAIfWbkYVPQW
A soft blush spread across her cheeks.
9Please respect copyright.PENANAQAy0mtGzfH
Holding the letter close to her heart, she quietly collected the water and walked back home, unable to stop thinking about the mysterious stranger named Aaris.9Please respect copyright.PENANAV38FyQpHUg
